700K+ views Ex-JW schoolgirl exposes organisation

by the girl next door in

if only every ex-jw could reach this same audience with videos and other avenues!

but this is truly remarkable.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ex-jehovahs-witness-schoolgirl-exposes-organisation-as-a-religion-that-destroys-lives-10273064.html.

a schoolgirl who left the jehovah’s witnesses after learning of its alleged failure to protect vulnerable women has blasted the organisation in a powerful speech to her classmates.. holding back tears, she recalled her personal experiences as a member of the church and how she was taught everyone outside the religion, including her father, would be sent to armageddon.

It's great if mainstream media has started picking up on that video. It did the rounds amongst us apostates now the world gets to see it.

Should I get babtized?

by BlackWolf in

i know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.

she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.

my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

Do not under any circumstances allow yourself to be emotionally blackmailed into getting baptized. Your future self will thank you for it.

Just put them off with "oh I would like to be 100% ready when I do that, it's such an important decision. Jesus was 30 when he got baptized and I think he knew wha he was doing, don't worry about me I'll get there...." blah blah blah they will be reassured by your mature attitude and leave you alone for a while.

Be confident and act like you know your own mind and you know what you are doing and they may let up a bit.

Just remember baptism = accountability. The pressure won't lessen after baptism it will increase.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Keep up the good work all you apostate sleuths, we need to find out just how deep this rabbit hole runs. I have been doing a bit of my own detective work and I am finding threads leading back to WT that are just as someone else has said - bizarre.

This Website Was Mentioned By The Governing Body

by JW_Rogue in

okay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.

and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".

he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.

I'd say the WT has several thorns in it's side on the internet that could fit that description.

Caption This Photo From The January Study Edition

by JW_Rogue in

so as some are probably aware the january study edition has two articles on the anointed.

one basically discouraging people from believing they are anointed and another about how ones should view partakers.

this photo is from the second article:.

Freddy Franz, One of the smartest men of his day????

by DwainBowman in

back in my teen years this story swept through jw land, that according to, the guinness book of records , freddy franz, was listed as one of the seven, most intelligent , men in the world.

dose anyone else remember this?

i remember trying to look it up, but never found anything in print, and ii point that out once or twice , and was told a co, had told about it, and he wouldn't lie!

I heard he was dubbed the "oracle" by some other guy at Bethel.

Which struck me as a very strange nickname for a supposed "man of God."
